I was chatting with my old friend, the stubborn [edited], wait.............I meant donkey like critter. Anyway the subject rolled around to new guys and the stuff they do to drive us crazy (if they are on our team).

My favorite is 'that guy' who asks 'How do you shoot these rocket thingys?' at the start of a battle. This is especially funny when he asks ALL in battle chat. Just announce 'Shoot me first' and be done with it.

Then there is that old, not-so-funny guy who spends the entire battle trying to ground pound with his fighter. This is so frequent as to no longer be even slightly amusing.

There is that guy who frantically and repeatedly clicks on every single sector of the map. What? We ain't gonna notice them if you don't?

Those are off the top of my head. I am sure their are other examples. Know any?

Here is one that happened yesterday. I was flying my T6 P38j. I'm behind an attack flight of bombers picking off easy targets. Than that guy swooped down from above me like a falcon with his do217 to ram me. And yes he was on my team. I think he was trying to dog fight with the bomber flight but I'm not sure. I asked him what he was doing and he apologized for his 'clumsy flying" but he still didn't tell me what it was actually trying to do.

I will (sheepishly) admit that I have held down the gun button when human team mates swoop in front of me to steal my kill. Sometimes, I even feel badly about it.

Team killers used to be much more prevalent in 1.9. I don't know why or understand the logic of why they would want to. But, it does happen. Often it was very difficult to tell was was on purpose and what was accidental.

I don't know what it is about airfields that attract all the mouth-breathers, like moths to the flame...

"OMG we NEED the airbase!!"

Ummm, no... there is a CC and/or a MB that are closer, and those sectors will actually help us capture OTHER sectors... the airbase is often literally the least important thing.

Exactly! And sometimes, even worse, is ignoring the Military Bases on each side in order to attack the garrison in the middle! What? I admit the middle can be important but if your opponents get that missile base and you don't, how long are you going to keep that garrison?

Something similar happened to me today, trying to keep my CCenter alive I was attacking a bombers flight when a NOOB with a XP75 appeared and rammed me trying to get the last bomber.

20 seconds after that he met his destiny, I farewell him meanwhile he went down in flames.
